The timing belt tensioner on an Audi A4 can be blamed for many of the problems associated with the timing belt. You can replace the timing belt without adding a timing belt tensioner to the task. But that's likely to backfire in more ways than one. After some driving time in the A4, the left in place timing belt tensioner can seriously impact the engine's performance. Essentially, everything connected with the timing belt, including the timing belt tensioner, has to be replaced at the same time. Otherwise, you're asking for trouble.

The timing belt tensioner makes sure the timing belt can't do anything but move squarely, with proper tension, as you drive the car. If the timing belt tensioner doesn't operate as designed, some disturbing engine failures---such as pistons slamming into valves---could occur. Let the car pros at PartsGeek.com detail it all.
